"Offers The Essentials Of Office Software For Everyone"
4.5/5
What do you like best about iWork?

The main thing iWork has going for it is that I can be sure that every machine in our office has a working copy of the iWork software suite. This has been a problem with using Microsoft Office products, with all users not on the same version of the software or not having it at due limited licenses. Using Keynote has been great to generate templates for presentations, being able to bring slides in and out to quickly create a PDF that looks great for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

I do not like how the software is not flexible with the version number. Every OS seems to come with it's own version of the software, which causes some incompatibility when opening documents on older machines in the office that cannot upgrade due to OS limitations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great suite of products to mirror Microsoft Office"
4.5/5
What do you like best about iWork?

The products are intuitive because they are similar to Microsoft Office enough without being the exact same thing. What I like is they are more user-friendly, especially on touch screen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

They are similar to Microsoft Office products, so it would be nice in future to see them evolve into a different look/style that is all their own. I understand that they are that way to help people convert over (ie not be afraid of a new Excel haha) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I love iWork for iCloud!"
5/5
What do you like best about iWork?

Pages is my favorite app. It's so cool to have a free word processor that you can save as a word document, I also use the "Numbers" app which is a similar program to Exel. So much so that you can save your files as an Exel document, a .pdf, a CSV and "Numbers" document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

Just little things... sometimes Pages will stall and won't allow me to rename my documents so I have a lot of like.. "Blank page 6" type documents. Other than that, it is such an awesome little suite od apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The iWork Suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) is really good! "
5/5
What do you like best about iWork?

I've been using iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) for a long time! The functionality and design is unparalleled, especially for the price (included with macOS and iOS devices). I love how easy it is to customize documents and how they automatically sync between my devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

iWork IS compatible with MS Office, but you have to specifically export documents as MS word, powerpoint, or excel files. That can be a little cumbersome when working with people in the MS environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simpler, more aesthetic alternative to Microsoft Office"
4.5/5
What do you like best about iWork?

The fonts, the ease of drag and drop features, the built in templates...I could go on. I think the templates are my favorite part, however, as they are far more applicable to the real world than with other software, such as Microsoft office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

The only thing that can be annoying are format errors that occur when exporting as non-iWork native file types. For example, exporting a pages document might produce some errors on its corresponding word doc when opening on a PC, thus, there is always a second step required to review.

I like that Is already in the Mac and you can open the office file (Word, exel, etc) and the interface Is very simple so all the people in the studio can use the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

I don't like of iwork Is that sometime something simple ti think and ti do Is a pain to do in the software because all the Apple software are Easy and simple to use, but when you want to do something more complex, here we go the problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Getting closer to the best suite"
5/5
What do you like best about iWork?

While each leaves a little bit of intuitive use to still be desired, each program is quite powerful and works wonderfully, finally, in collaboration and sync between desktop and web versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

Often, and seemingly always at the most inopportune times (ie while in flight) keynote will require an update in order to permit local /desktop editing, which is infuriating and stops productivity dead (as most web collaboration doesnt work well with inflight wifi). This happens, a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
